It would be good if someone also addressed the description problems I
mentioned in my mail to debian-x the other day - particularly this
paragraph which still exists in 1.0.0-5:
This package contains primarily fonts in the ISO 10646-1 and ISO 8859-1
encodings, to conserve disk space. (A small selection of fonts in ISO
8859-8, JIS-X0208.1983, JIS-X0208.1976, and GB2312.1980 fonts are also
included.) For other encodings, see the xfonts-base-transcoded package.
